    House Passes Bill to Make Daylight Savings Time Permanent

    If this passes the Senate and is signed into law, this would be excellent. I am sick of changing times every six months. https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/house-passes-legislation-to-make-daylight-saving-time-permanent

    Vitamin D versus Sunlight

    Interestingly, we've been led to believe that we need to believe that we need to take steps to protect ourselves from the sun with sunscreens and apparel designed for that, while at the same time, finding that we need to take Vitamin D, which we were designed to acquire from natural sunlight...

    Foraging for Food in the Wild, or in the Back Yard

    We've touched on the subject in a few threads, so I thought we could use a thread dedicated to foods that can be found, not grown, in the wild or in the backyard. I don't expect that any of us are living off the land in the sense of gathering a large percentage of our food in the wild, but I...

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) Actors and Artists

    We're already seeing actors being replaced with AI in television advertising, and some instances of AI actors on television. I think I've read that stuntmen are being replaced by AI. You might say that makes sense because the job can be dangerous, but it's a job. Appearing in advertising is how...

    Eating Habits in Later Years

    We have other threads here about diets, what we're having for breakfast and supper, and so on, but this one is more specific to how our eating habits might have changed as we've grown older. Due to work and sleep schedules, discussed in another thread here, I haven't always eaten regular meals...

    Sleep Habits or Cycles

    Given that for much of my life, I have either worked two jobs. night shifts, whenever I could as a paramedic, or unscheduled while working from home, my sleep habits have been outside of the norm. With very little of my life on a schedule for the past couple of decades, I go to bed when I'm...

    Dude Wipes

    This is a product that I recommend. They're wet wipes, like alcohol wipes, only without the alcohol, and they're made from plant fibers. They are labeled as flushable, but I wouldn't recommend flushing them unless you have a strong sewer system. I don't say this from experience because I've...

Usually, it's the assortment of search engines, including Chinese and Russian search engines, as well as some SEO companies. Whenever a link to our forum is posted on Facebook, the Facebook bot will check it...

    How many National Parks have you visited?

    In your lifetime, how many designated National Parks have you been to? For those of you who aren't in the United States, national parks, by whatever name they might be referred to, in your own country, can be included here; for that matter, if you've visited national parks in another country...

    Congressional Work Habits

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I am absolutely sick of seeing Congressional hearings - nearly all of them - that are not attended by elected congresspeople. It infuriates me to see our elected representatives, most of whom leave office as millionaires, talking about stuff they have no...

    How do you experience or make use of streaming media?

    You can take this question in whatever direction you like, but what I have in mind is that I most often listen to, rather than watch, streaming media. Even when it comes to movies and television series that are streamed online, I glance at the screen just enough to follow the plot, but I mostly...

    MKUltra

    After decades of being told that MKUltra was a crazy conspiracy theory, with even people who knew that it was real afraid to report on it for fear of being marginalized, Congress now has hearings on it, and it is being reported by mainstream media, such as Forbes. I strongly recommend watching...

    Personal Experiences With Hospitals

    Of course, you should feel free to discuss your own hospital experience in a separate thread, particularly if you are in a hospital now, because there are people here who care, and we want to be with you as much as we can, virtually. This thread is for your own stories, reviews, or comments on...

    Environmental Issues

    I had posted this in the weather thread as a response to some of the discussion there, but decided that I didn't want to have to ban myself for taking a weather thread off-topic, given that the environment and weather aren't the same thing. This video takes a look at various environmental...

    AI Cameras Required on Cars Starting in 2027

    What do you think about this? If the car's AI decides you are not fit to drive, it will prevent you from driving or, if you are already driving, take over and pull your car over and stop.

    Our Aversion to Snakes and Spiders

    It's not total, but nearly so. People show a widespread, unusually fast fear response to snakes. Anecdotally, it seems that this is somewhat less in people who, like myself, grew up in an area without poisonous snakes, but the fear or aversion to snakes remains strong. If you believe in...

    Moving out of your house and into a senior care facility or similar environment

    For those of you who have already made the decision to leave your home and move into a senior care facility, whatever level of care they may offer, or those who are now considering it, what thoughts were going through your head at the time? Clearly, you concluded it was for the best, and I'm not...
